2:57
Speaker 2: And she was a high achiever.
2:59

Speaker 3: was a high achiever. So it's like you better be
3:04
Speaker 3: as good as her. Like, well, wait a minute, now
3:06
Speaker 3: you're gonna judge me individually, okay, and then you were
3:08
Speaker 3: a high achiever and you lived up to the billing.
3:11
Speaker 3: Now try having your sister be the high achiever and
3:13
Speaker 3: then you be very middle of the road and the
3:16
Speaker 3: most annoying kid in the class.
3:18
Speaker 4: That was the one to get Why couldn't you be

Speaker 4: a little bit more like your sister?
3:22
Speaker 2: Did you get that? Actually? All of it?
3:24
Speaker 4: But look at you now, nothing, nothing was better than
3:28
Speaker 4: the I mean you could just probably like leave it
3:31
Speaker 4: into the text window like the textboxes.
3:34
Speaker 2: Really conversational.
3:36
Speaker 4: It's just extremely conreational young man, very social young man,
3:42
Speaker 4: talks out of turn a bit.
3:43
Speaker 3: Appreciate his enthusiasm. Yeah, sometimes it's out of turn stuff
3:46
Speaker 3: like that.
3:46
Speaker 4: Quite a bit of quite a bit of talking out
3:48
Speaker 4: of turn conversations which you know, listen, that has never changed,
3:51
Speaker 4: never changed, just got worse.
3:54
Speaker 2: It's excited.
3:55
Speaker 4: He loves enthusiasm with impressive training. By the way, Drew,
3:57
Speaker 4: that's that's what people ask. That's when people ask, what
3:59
Speaker 4: did you majoring in college? I majored on how to
4:01
Speaker 4: annoy people. Settle in and I'll see if it worked,
4:05
Speaker 4: and now you do it.
4:06
Speaker 2: No, I'm just kidding. That's a joke, Billy, I think
4:08
Speaker 2: you do a great job on the air A joke, well,
4:13
Speaker 2: I love it.
4:14
Speaker 3: I couldn't make that joke without doing a straight fing
4:17
Speaker 3: red hot tip. Not a girl started school yesterday this
4:19
Speaker 3: past Wednesday already, So it flew by hold on August
4:22
Speaker 3: August nineteenth. Yeah, man, yeah, sure, I know some colleges, right,
4:27
Speaker 3: I mean in college, we would do it if you
4:29
Speaker 3: were in our ray at ra training all right, so
4:31
Speaker 3: you were there early twenty first. Man, that's crazy, but
4:34
Speaker 3: I didn't know. I remember it being labor day, am
4:37
Speaker 3: I The labor day is also the latest that possibly
4:41
Speaker 3: can be this year. I think that has something to
4:43
Speaker 3: do with it.
4:44
Speaker 4: I also think the other part is, and maybe I'm
4:46
Speaker 4: wrong here, you're almost like building in for the fact
4:49
Speaker 4: that like.
4:50
Speaker 2: It gets snow days nowadays.
4:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, those like three or four inches, we're probably gonna
4:56
Speaker 4: go virtual for the day, So we might as well
4:58
Speaker 4: build in a couple of days more in the beginning
5:00
Speaker 4: and have some some leash for the cold.
5:02
Speaker 2: Started to creep.
5:03
Speaker 1: I blame football because it was like, were you playing
5:05
Speaker 1: our second or sometimes third game before school even school started? Yeah,
5:11
Speaker 1: football crept up into the earlier part of the summer.
5:14
Speaker 4: It just continued to move, and I mean with the
5:16
Speaker 4: new w i A roles where you're basically able to
5:18
Speaker 4: practice throughout the whole summer, pretty much it changed a
5:21
Speaker 4: lot of it, no doubt about it.
5:23
Speaker 2: Pretty much.
5:24
Speaker 1: Hit us up eight seven seven seven nine three Packers
5:27
Speaker 1: Broncos tonight preseason game two.
5:30
Speaker 2: Oh baby.
5:31
Speaker 1: Our coverage tonight because it's an eight o'clock start, begins
5:33
Speaker 1: at four o'clock with Doug Russell here in Milwaukee, the
5:38
Speaker 1: on the Big nine twenty and uh.
5:41
Speaker 2: Bag yeh.
5:43
Speaker 1: Doug Russell gets it started with the Packers what is
5:47
Speaker 1: it Packer's game day, Packers preview with Dennis Crowsey, Mike Keller,
5:51
Speaker 1: James Jones, and Wes Hodkowitz, and then the game and
5:54
Speaker 1: then Packers ot with me and Billy probably kicking off
5:56
Speaker 1: at about midnight.
5:57
Speaker 4: Right around that. Hopefully a litle bit sooner, hopefully we
6:00
Speaker 4: get this thing wrong and hopefully we don't have five
6:02
Speaker 4: video replays in the first half. Let's get that was
6:06
Speaker 4: the part of last week that was not only the
6:09
Speaker 4: weech in part of the second half where Drew Aller
6:12
Speaker 4: looked like he was playing seven on seven that was frustrating.
6:15
Speaker 4: In and of itself, the video replays and significant ones
6:18
Speaker 4: throughout the first half should be illegal. In preseason games,
6:21
Speaker 4: you get thirty seconds. If it's right, it's wrong.
6:24
Speaker 2: That's it. Do it like Baseball told us they were
6:27
Speaker 2: gonna do. I like it.
6:28
Speaker 4: They told us it was gonna be thirty seconds and go,
6:30
Speaker 4: and you know, two and a half minutes either way.
6:32
Speaker 2: But let's expedite that thing a little bit.
6:33
Speaker 1: We will chat with Wayne Larvy Voice the Packers Live
6:37
Speaker 1: from Denver seven to twenty five today.
6:38
Speaker 4: You'll get you ready, and Wayne's gonna get another full
6:41
Speaker 4: dose a regular season here because Broncos are going to
6:43
Speaker 4: play some starters all the way to the ninety man roster,
6:46
Speaker 4: and it sounds like the Packers are going to do
6:48
Speaker 4: pretty much the exact same tonight with Jordan Love expect
6:51
Speaker 4: let to go.
6:51
Speaker 3: That's exciting, you know, yeah, you never that's never promised
6:54
Speaker 3: anymore an NFL preseason to actually get a lot of
6:57
Speaker 3: starters or significant starters. So the fact that we'll get some,
7:00
Speaker 3: that's an exciting prospect. I mean, he gets to watch
7:03
Speaker 3: some interesting football here tonight, So I'm excited for that one.
7:06
Speaker 1: I am, uh, just surfed around during their our top
7:09
Speaker 1: of the hour commercial break, and I was looking at
7:11
Speaker 1: tickets for today's Breweris games. A healthy supply available on
7:14
Speaker 1: the Brewers website. You don't even have to go to
7:15
Speaker 1: the secondary market. Yes, you can buy them right from
7:18
Speaker 1: the Brewers. Then some decent locations, some decent locations. I
7:22
Speaker 1: was doing the exact same thing.
7:23
Speaker 4: Tomorrow is one of the hottest tickets of the year
7:25
Speaker 4: with the with the Jay Aaron Jersey giveaway. But today
7:29
Speaker 4: is as good of a matchup as you're possibly gonna get.
7:32
Speaker 4: We got Mike Vasalo sending out Tale of the Tapes, Drew.
7:35
Speaker 4: That's how good it is. Like this is a heavyweight
7:37
Speaker 4: boxing match. This sale, and of course the mi is
7:40
Speaker 4: It's going to be great. And I almost did it.
7:42
Speaker 4: I was gonna pimp Billy yesterday. I was at the
7:46
Speaker 4: game yesterday and when I rolled home, I have I
7:50
Speaker 4: have a friend.
7:50
Speaker 1: It's good to know people. A friend slipped me one
7:53
Speaker 1: of the Henry Aaron so I got it in advance.
7:56
Speaker 1: And at this I have the Powder Blue forty four
8:01
Speaker 1: in my possession.
8:02
Speaker 4: I saw a certain friend of ours who might also
8:06
Speaker 4: be halftime entertainment. They got the super cool box, got
8:09
Speaker 4: dropped off. I saw a little glimpse that thing looks good,
8:12
Speaker 4: it looks it looks sweet, and anyway we rise.
8:16
Speaker 1: We used to be on the list for those drops,
8:17
Speaker 1: but we've fallen off. We got to get back on this.
8:19
Speaker 1: I don't know how we fell off that list. Yeah,
8:21
Speaker 1: get back in there.
8:22
Speaker 5: If you're out there, Brewers, we do exist still.
8:24
Speaker 1: You can tell tell Leslie and Marty Ronsky that we
8:28
Speaker 1: need to be back in the list of.
8:29
Speaker 4: You know, but for a list, and especially for Hank Aaron,
8:33
Speaker 4: there's just too many groups of people in a full
8:36
Speaker 4: generation now that is not going to understand that pure
8:40
Speaker 4: greatness that he was. So anytime that they honor him,
8:43
Speaker 4: I'm going to be very excited about it. And I
8:46
Speaker 4: even dusted off the old Hank Aaron boblehead that I
8:48
Speaker 4: had there that was I think on the little wedge
8:50
Speaker 4: of cheese from back in the day, way back in
8:52
Speaker 4: the day. Every once in a while, they'd every couple
8:54
Speaker 4: of years, it feels like they'd fire out some kind
8:56
Speaker 4: of forty four celebration in this fiftieth year, fiftieth year
9:00
Speaker 4: celebration of his last home run.
9:01
Speaker 2: Great way to do it.
9:03
Speaker 3: You ever curl up with a you know, a sandwich
9:05
Speaker 3: and a drink and a good book. And look at
9:08
Speaker 3: Hank Aaron's reference Baseball reference. He had some nasty, nasty numbers.
9:12
Speaker 3: Now we already know this, he's the best ever and
9:14
Speaker 3: all this stuff, but it is really crazy when you
9:15
Speaker 3: look at some of his stuff, and you're right to appreciate.
9:18
Speaker 3: His legend is something we have to keep passing along
9:21
Speaker 3: to our next generations because it's they're very important. Now,
9:23
Speaker 3: I want to say one more thing really quickly in
9:25
Speaker 3: advance of this, because I know what's going to happen already.
9:27
Speaker 3: I remember this happening with the Honest jersey giveaway, and
9:30
Speaker 3: I anticipated it's going to be another large crowd, large lines,
9:33
Speaker 3: large situation because everybody wants this jersey, everybody. You're gonna
9:36
Speaker 3: do better if you just understand the situation, stay patient
9:39
Speaker 3: in your line, and don't whine afterwards. I remember, for
9:42
Speaker 3: like a week on the air we were doing this.
9:43
Speaker 3: Afterwards with the Honest giveaways, everybody was whining about something.
9:47
Speaker 2: Oh they didn't do it. Is it the basketball jersey?
9:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just like people were complaining. I'm like, no, actually,
9:52
Speaker 3: they did what they had to do. When you have
9:54
Speaker 3: forty thousand people all looking for the right item. Okay,
9:57
Speaker 3: so in twenty five thousand in supply, Yeah, exactly. So
10:00
Speaker 3: everyone knows the rules. If that's what it is, get
10:02
Speaker 3: in line and actually, you know, just don't complain all.
10:06
Speaker 2: The time about something.
10:06
Speaker 3: I mean, people were just complaining no end when things
10:09
Speaker 3: actually went the way they were supposed to. So that
10:11
Speaker 3: was something that was really bothered me last time. And
10:14
Speaker 3: you'll be kind your fellow neighbors. Play by the rules,
10:16
Speaker 3: and uh, hey, what's fairs fair? If you get in line, great,
10:19
Speaker 3: If he didn't, so be it. And you have to
10:21
Speaker 3: understand that you didn't get in line and move on.
10:23
Speaker 3: So I already know people are gonna start complaining and
10:26
Speaker 3: moaning after this one.
10:28
Speaker 2: I can already see it. So did it happen with
10:30
Speaker 2: the dice cups last weekend?
10:31
Speaker 5: Good question, I didn't hear any I know people were
10:34
Speaker 5: into the dice cups?
10:35
Speaker 1: Yeah so I yeah, you gotta wait in line, and
10:39
Speaker 1: it's a one o'clock start, which is different.
10:41
Speaker 4: Much different. Yeah, so it'll be an early start fairs fair.
10:45
Speaker 4: Everyone knows the rules. Good tailgating day though, yeah, I
10:48
Speaker 4: would say, I mean from like that full on day
10:51
Speaker 4: that you get the full tailgate in, that's pretty good.
10:53
Speaker 2: Started good. Today could be a good one too, I
10:55
Speaker 2: mean rather, but.
10:57
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, if this rain holds off, it's
10:58
Speaker 4: gonna be a beautiful one in the.
11:00
Speaker 2: Mid seventies to be tailgating. Yeah, it was a perfect
11:03
Speaker 2: day at the ballpark yesterday, But.
11:05
Speaker 4: It's also even better when you get that kind of
11:06
Speaker 4: run sport right out of game. Yeah, I mean that
11:08
Speaker 4: place was hopping and happening right out of the case.
11:11
Speaker 1: As our beer metrics experts say, seventy eight degrees is
11:14
Speaker 1: the prime beer selling temperature anytimes. Any temperature is good
11:17
Speaker 1: to drink beer, but selling it, especially at summer for
11:19
Speaker 1: US seventy eight.
11:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, inst I would wonder what those beer metrics do
11:24
Speaker 4: on the first base and third base side for a
11:26
Speaker 4: day like yesterday, because those are two completely different climates
11:29
Speaker 4: that you're watching that game in. But to then get
11:32
Speaker 4: kickstarted right out of the gates, we talked about it yesterday.
11:34
Speaker 4: You said it with Hunter, and it is about as
11:38
Speaker 4: important as possible if you're going to the game today,
11:41
Speaker 4: we are talking about the tailgate. The weather's gonna be great,
11:43
Speaker 4: But finish that last one a little early, so you
11:46
Speaker 4: make sure that you're in there by the time Miss
11:48
Speaker 4: and Sale actually start executing their toil, because if you
11:50
Speaker 4: want to see the radar gun really light up, that
11:53
Speaker 4: first inning is when it happens. The first ten pitches,
11:57
Speaker 4: you can bet your bottom dollar at least eight of
11:59
Speaker 4: them are going to be fastas and at least seven
12:00
Speaker 4: of them are gonna be under over one hundred miles
12:02
Speaker 4: an hour because he's gonna be laying it out there
12:04
Speaker 4: and letting him see it right out.
12:05
Speaker 2: Of the game.
12:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is gonna be a special matchup, no question,
12:09
Speaker 3: one of those you might want to say one day, Hey,
12:12
Speaker 3: you know what, you know what I saw when I
12:13
Speaker 3: was a kid, I saw Miss Chris Sale.
12:15
Speaker 2: I saw that matchup.
12:16
Speaker 4: Well, last year, that was the that was the Schemes
12:19
Speaker 4: Miszowski Day game that we were doing. Yeah, Arman and
12:22
Speaker 4: I did a four hour pregame show over the Potawatamie
12:25
Speaker 4: Sportsbook that day. Awesome, man, and it felt like a
12:28
Speaker 4: playoff game for people getting that excited about it on
12:30
Speaker 4: that early walk up or that quick walk up turnaround
12:33
Speaker 4: sellout they had.
12:34
Speaker 3: And there's something about, you know, in the doldrums of
12:36
Speaker 3: a regular season there's something about a heightened excitement on
12:39
Speaker 3: a matchup like that, people getting jacked up, and people
12:41
Speaker 3: were ready for that one definitely, and they were really
12:45
Speaker 3: fired up for it, and I was, you know, I
12:47
Speaker 3: think maybe because it's a Friday afternoon you have the
12:49
Speaker 3: different start time, Maybe there's an aspect of that keeping
12:51
Speaker 3: the prices down. But hey, that's the opportunity for you
12:54
Speaker 3: to go out get great seats at a good price
12:56
Speaker 3: for a ball game. Still the best deal going from
12:59
Speaker 3: Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin entertainment is a Brewers game.
13:02
Speaker 3: Go get your tickets and go see a great historic
13:04
Speaker 3: matchup and hopefully another Brewers win against a team that
13:08
Speaker 3: you really need to win against because you're trying to
13:09
Speaker 3: get that first round by So.
13:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get a good crowd going today.
13:13
Speaker 5: I'd be nice to see.
13:15
Speaker 2: It'll be good, But there are tickets available if you're
13:17
Speaker 2: interested in going to it.
13:18
Speaker 1: Good Ones, Yeah, yeah, keep them coming. Eight seven seven
13:20
Speaker 1: seven three. You mentioned that we had some good, robust
13:24
Speaker 1: discussions on the both the YouTube comments and on the text.
13:27
Speaker 4: Line Big Ones here Bob and bear a Boo firing
13:30
Speaker 4: us up right out of the gates. Morning, Happy Friday, men,
13:33
Speaker 4: Good win for the crew. Robert Casser just needed to
13:35
Speaker 4: throw some strikes, but great job by Murphy getting them
13:38
Speaker 4: the heck out of there. Bullpen was fantastic again. What's
13:41
Speaker 4: up with uh the ass comment in the post game
13:46
Speaker 4: something about ants.
13:48
Speaker 2: Maybe I heard that wrong, but it was hilarious.
13:50
Speaker 4: Also, the Yankee scored three in the first inning yesterday
13:52
Speaker 4: and play by play man Michael k was having himself
13:55
Speaker 4: a time in the press box cracking me up. Go
13:59
Speaker 4: Brewers against the breat It's great matchup again today. Stay
14:01
Speaker 4: safe with more storms coming through. We need to end
14:04
Speaker 4: with the storms coming through. We need to get rid
14:07
Speaker 4: of the storms coming through, but hopefully it's an offensive storm.
14:10
Speaker 4: Is the Brewers roll through here against the Braves the
14:13
Speaker 4: bullpen all weekend long? How underrated was that on? I
14:17
Speaker 4: mean even on Wednesday night when you don't end up
14:19
Speaker 4: finishing the comeback. They allowed you five different as to
14:24
Speaker 4: come back and win the game.
14:26
Speaker 2: And then they're just as good, if not better.
14:27
Speaker 4: Yesterday and the Mike Fasallo numbers we talked about with
14:32
Speaker 4: Trevor McGill, I guess I didn't realize this one either.
14:35
Speaker 4: Trevor McGill has now retired thirty of his last thirty
14:38
Speaker 4: one batters, the only base runner coming on an intentional
14:42
Speaker 4: walk against Fernando Tatis in San Diego.
14:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been on.
14:46
Speaker 3: That's incredible. What a run he's been on. And and
14:48
Speaker 3: kind of under the radar.
14:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you expect him.
14:51
Speaker 1: You don't know, and when they do, you know, when
14:54
Speaker 1: they're rolling like setup guys and stuff. You Rebay was
14:56
Speaker 1: going good, like, you don't notice until they filled their socks.
14:59
Speaker 2: One Yeah, until there's one time, and god.
15:01
Speaker 1: Forbid they do it twice in a week, then they
15:03
Speaker 1: suck and should be DFA despite a string of like
15:06
Speaker 1: fifteen scoreless outings before Well.
15:08
Speaker 4: And McGill, I mean, think about it. We talk about
15:10
Speaker 4: it in terms of the deadline. Also in the offseason,
15:13
Speaker 4: his name was as prominently mentioned in trade rumors as
15:17
Speaker 4: any other any brewer. It seemed like wrong. They continually
15:21
Speaker 4: were throwing his name out there. Sometimes it's the movie
15:23
Speaker 4: you don't make that end up being the best ones. Ye,
15:26
Speaker 4: what does this bullpen look like if Trevor McGill's not
15:28
Speaker 4: anchoring it for the majority of the season.
15:29
Speaker 1: My god, we were talking about that with our MVP
15:33
Speaker 1: conversation McGill's under the radar for Brewers MVP.
15:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I heard that conversation.
15:38
Speaker 4: I it is so tough because it's hard to not
15:42
Speaker 4: go with miz just because of the energy excitement that
15:46
Speaker 4: he brings to this team, and.
15:47
Speaker 1: He affects games beyond when he starts. We talked about
15:49
Speaker 1: that because if you bank on him, go seven, the
15:51
Speaker 1: bullpen gets rested, sets you up for the next day,
15:55
Speaker 1: Like I think it was.
15:56
Speaker 2: Was it Mitchell? I think?
15:57
Speaker 1: Or is it Mitchell or Ashby? The Brewers won the
16:01
Speaker 1: game yesterday because of the guys who pitched in relief
16:04
Speaker 1: the day before and sucked up the innings and kept
16:08
Speaker 1: the top guys fresh to do what they did yesterday.
16:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, because Bryce Wilson went out there and ate for you.
16:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you had Chad Patrick and Ashby ready to
16:15
Speaker 1: go and that was you know, and.
16:17
Speaker 4: You don't have that unless you're trying to fight and
16:20
Speaker 4: claw your way through. That's where like the designation of roles,
16:23
Speaker 4: the seems like the cleanest ones are in the bullpen.
16:25
Speaker 2: Hey keep us in it, Yeah, and you're our get
16:27
Speaker 2: us home guys.
16:28
Speaker 4: No doubt, And that buy in is is not probably
16:31
Speaker 4: the easiest thing, but when you shove like they did
16:33
Speaker 4: yesterday and on Wednesday, a lot easier to enjoy your role.
16:36
Speaker 1: You see it when you'll have like two guys warming up.
16:39
Speaker 1: One guy's one of the tender loin of the bullpen
16:42
Speaker 1: and the other guy's like, okay, give us an inning,
16:44
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, well wait, if we score here,
16:46
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring in our big, our good guy. And
16:48
Speaker 1: if we don't, then you're going in. You know that.
16:51
Speaker 2: You see that all the time.
16:52
Speaker 4: It's so and it's great when it works out in practice.
16:55
Speaker 4: It works out just in front of you like that.
16:57
Speaker 4: But when you have Bryce Wilson back in four three
17:01
Speaker 4: different times, might get DF eight again before the end
17:04
Speaker 4: of this thing and re signed h for another trip,
17:07
Speaker 4: but you get those guys to be able to save it.
17:09
Speaker 4: And Chad Patrick he's now pitched more well, more out
17:13
Speaker 4: of the way, more out of the bullpen than he
17:14
Speaker 4: did even as a starter, even in terms of innings
17:17
Speaker 4: this year, and he's been really, really good in both roles.
17:20
Speaker 4: That is not an easy thing to be able to
17:21
Speaker 4: just jump back to when I assume he's kind of
17:24
Speaker 4: been a starter his entire life. But he was good
17:26
Speaker 4: in relief last year in the playoffs and like, ah,
17:28
Speaker 4: you messed up and showed us that you can do that.
17:30
Speaker 2: He was huge. He was one of the best pitchers
17:32
Speaker 2: last year when they needed him the most.
17:33
Speaker 3: And he's been great in any role they asked him
17:35
Speaker 3: to be in and he's been asked to do a
17:36
Speaker 3: lot of things. So yeah, another great example, Ashby's been
17:40
Speaker 3: doing the job. I mean, guys have stepped in as
17:43
Speaker 3: they've done every year in this last few years of
17:45
Speaker 3: the stretch. He asked who's gonna fill in for guys
17:46
Speaker 3: like Nick Mears and they and we've had him come in.
17:49
Speaker 4: So you were mostly the guy asking hiout ninga well
17:52
Speaker 4: because you were the president of the Nick Meers Fit credit.
17:55
Speaker 2: He was very important last year and had a big role.
17:57
Speaker 2: So you know, this is an opportune times talking about
18:00
Speaker 2: these bullpen guys. Who's hot?
18:01
Speaker 1: Who's not brought to us by Donovan Jordans and heating
18:03
Speaker 1: and cooling because Trevor McGill is clearly hot, but people
18:06
Speaker 1: might not be paying attention to him.
18:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, people and I might not be paying attention to
18:10
Speaker 4: just how hot it is. Fifteen consecutive save chances that
18:14
Speaker 4: he has converted tossed another perfect inning yesterday and thirty
18:19
Speaker 4: of his last thirty one hitters.
18:20
Speaker 2: Retired in order.
18:22
Speaker 4: Chad Patrick, how many earned runs has he given up
18:25
Speaker 4: in the last month? One one run in nine and
18:29
Speaker 4: two thirds innings pitch in the month of August Before that,
18:32
Speaker 4: a two run give up in a sixteen to three
18:36
Speaker 4: l against the Giants where everybody got tagged. Otherwise, Chad
18:39
Speaker 4: Patrick has just been in there. But what about Aaron Ashby.
18:42
Speaker 4: We heard from a little earlier in Hunter's recap he
18:45
Speaker 4: got his twelfth hold. We've talked mostly about his wins.
18:48
Speaker 4: Much maligned Aaron Ashby there for a while. Oh yeah,
18:51
Speaker 4: there were people that were very frustrating, a lot of
18:53
Speaker 4: pitchforks out for Aaron Ashby. How many earned runs has
18:57
Speaker 4: Aaron Ashby giving up? Armansarian in the month of August?
19:00
Speaker 5: Mmm, I'm gonna say one.
19:03
Speaker 2: What is it won? Too many?
19:05
Speaker 4: Zero, zero, y ten and a third? Five hits? No,
19:08
Speaker 4: Ernie's not has walked five, that has walked loot guys
19:12
Speaker 4: on that whip is definitely not going down necessarily. But
19:16
Speaker 4: the e r A is because Aaron Ashby has been
19:19
Speaker 4: as good as it can be at.
19:20
Speaker 5: Your job, your run prevention is your job, not you know,
19:24
Speaker 5: hit prevention.
19:24
Speaker 1: Who's not hot? We mentioned cal Raleigh.
19:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's a tough one for that man. I
19:29
Speaker 2: mean like it is. Uh.
19:32
Speaker 4: I enjoy the Big Dumper. I enjoy that. I enjoyed, uh,
19:35
Speaker 4: the cut of his jib a year ago. Love the
19:38
Speaker 4: home run Derby. That's a tough scene when all of
19:40
Speaker 4: a sudden you are just completely m I A also
19:44
Speaker 4: not hot, the Indiana fever last night, son of a
19:47
Speaker 4: Gun blowing a seven point lead in the second half.
19:50
Speaker 4: Come on, who else? Who on earth is betting on the.
19:54
Speaker 2: W n B A boyd? Who's hot? Who's not?
19:57
Speaker 1: Bet on Donovan Jorgensen because they're the best low Luckily
20:00
Speaker 1: they've been at it employee owned, they've been at it
20:02
Speaker 1: for forty years. Four point seven Start Google rating, check
20:06
Speaker 1: them out. Donovan Jorgenson dot com is the website. When
20:09
Speaker 1: we come back, Dolph is going to drop by from
20:11
Speaker 1: the country station on the hall FM one oh six.
20:13
Speaker 1: Our halftime correspondent is with us, talking all things. I asked,
20:18
Speaker 1: I have a badger's discussion for you as well. As
20:21
Speaker 1: they're getting close to fire and very marts and let's
20:23
Speaker 1: get it you're in the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin,
20:29
Speaker 1: Drew billion Arman, huddled up on a Friday in the
20:31
Speaker 1: good Land, having some fun, smart, good looking listeners. Eight
20:35
Speaker 1: hundred nine ninety thirty seven seventy six gets you to
20:37
Speaker 1: Nicola lot dot.
20:38
Speaker 2: Com talking text line.
20:39
Speaker 1: We're talking to Scott Dolphin, our halftime correspondent here because
20:42
Speaker 1: we're halftime of the final show of the week.
20:44
Speaker 6: Good morning, Dolph. Hey, happy Friday, fellas. All right, that
20:47
Speaker 6: is a happy Friday, absolutely right.
20:49
Speaker 2: I'm intrigued now.
20:50
Speaker 6: I'm looking at our video right now, and Billy your
20:54
Speaker 6: box says you're Don.
20:56
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, I am the Don.
20:58
Speaker 4: The Don we have the we haven't changed. Sorry you
21:00
Speaker 4: didn't come kiss the ring. I think those pretty disrespectful.
21:04
Speaker 4: The day of my daughter's wedding them in here and
21:07
Speaker 4: that's fine whatever what I.
21:09
Speaker 2: Don't even change those names for a few years. Yeah,
21:11
Speaker 2: how to do it? I don't how to do it.
21:13
Speaker 3: You don't see it on the actual screen though, for
21:15
Speaker 3: people watching with us on YouTube, Facebook and Classic got
21:19
Speaker 3: it all right.
21:20
Speaker 2: That's why this guy was man.
21:21
Speaker 1: I'll go ahead for sorry, I got a question for
21:23
Speaker 1: you because there's a story on jays Online about Badger's
21:28
Speaker 1: football season ticket sales. The Badger sold forty seven and
21:33
Speaker 1: eighty seven season tickets for twenty twenty six, according to
21:36
Speaker 1: data obtained by the Journal Central open records request. That's
21:39
Speaker 1: down thirteen percent from fifty four thousand and seven to
21:42
Speaker 1: eighty last year. Now that's as of August nineteenth, three
21:45
Speaker 1: weeks before the start of the season, and they started
21:47
Speaker 1: selling single game tickets and stuff. And I'm wondering, because
21:50
Speaker 1: there's been an erosion over recent years because of disappointing
21:53
Speaker 1: seasons for all the turmoil in the hubbub, has that
21:56
Speaker 1: ever happened at Iowa?
21:57
Speaker 3: Oh?
21:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, Have they had.
21:59
Speaker 1: The same kind of cycle kind of thing? If they
22:00
Speaker 1: don't fire the guy's son, I'm getting out of here.
22:03
Speaker 6: I think it was more when I think it's just
22:06
Speaker 6: it's a matter of if you're good or bad. You know,
22:08
Speaker 6: most fans are fickle when it comes to buy and
22:10
Speaker 6: season tickets. They're like, hey, I can spend my some
22:12
Speaker 6: my money someplace else and watch the Badgers on TV.
22:14
Speaker 6: And iow it happened after Hayden Fryar retired in the
22:17
Speaker 6: late nineteen nineties and Kirk Ference took over. They absolutely
22:21
Speaker 6: sucked they won one game the first year and three
22:23
Speaker 6: the next and I think they actually went to a
22:25
Speaker 6: bowl game in their third year, but it was dismal
22:28
Speaker 6: and season ticket holders both.
22:30
Speaker 1: Failed they did so, And yeah, part of it is
22:33
Speaker 1: it used to be that, you know, in a it
22:36
Speaker 1: wasn't that long ago that not every game was on TV.
22:39
Speaker 4: Well, correct, And now not every game has a start
22:42
Speaker 4: time right now, right Like that's one of the other
22:44
Speaker 4: it's one of the tough things. And you know, Matt
22:47
Speaker 4: mentions it a lot, and it really is true. There's
22:50
Speaker 4: no sport that demands more from the in stadium viewing
22:53
Speaker 4: audience than college football. A lot of it's the pageantry
22:56
Speaker 4: and the excitement, and you miss a lot of it
22:58
Speaker 4: if you're not there on Tell vision. But when you
23:01
Speaker 4: don't know the start of the game until six days before,
23:04
Speaker 4: that's just.
23:05
Speaker 2: Did remember a hard thing to judge.
23:06
Speaker 6: Up until a couple of years ago, they had to
23:08
Speaker 6: have it out the Monday or Tuesday the week the
23:11
Speaker 6: week before.
23:12
Speaker 2: Correct. Now you're right Monday too.
23:14
Speaker 6: You're trying to make plans with your life and you
23:16
Speaker 6: don't even know when you're gonna do this game on
23:17
Speaker 6: SAT the.
23:18
Speaker 4: Majority of the time, and when Drew and I are
23:19
Speaker 4: coming going up and playing. Uh, when's Mike Keller going
23:22
Speaker 4: to say the first thing on Packers preview that we
23:24
Speaker 4: get to enjoy? It starts up again here tonight at six.
23:28
Speaker 4: I would also be finding out the kick kick time
23:30
Speaker 4: of next week's true point as you're driving up, and
23:34
Speaker 4: that is a they've made so much money from the networks.
23:37
Speaker 4: I can't say it's a bad business model, but I
23:39
Speaker 4: do think that there's some real unintended consequences, right. And
23:42
Speaker 4: that's also you know, what do you say thirteen percent?
23:45
Speaker 4: That might be two percent. The eleven percent is the
23:48
Speaker 4: fact that you won four games last year, and if
23:51
Speaker 4: you did go to either the Iowa or Ohio state game,
23:54
Speaker 4: that would be a tough site to then say, you
23:56
Speaker 4: know what we should do?
23:57
Speaker 2: Sign up for six more of these next year? Yeah?
23:59
Speaker 2: Great point. You know. So it's a cyclical thing, is
24:02
Speaker 2: what you're saying. I mean, you know, nothing's constant. I know,
24:04
Speaker 2: but and who's on the schedule at home? Too?
24:07
Speaker 6: Oftentimes people look at that, yeh, who's coming into the
24:10
Speaker 6: camp Randall?
24:11
Speaker 3: What other sport can you not make plans for a
24:14
Speaker 3: start time before the season.
24:15
Speaker 2: I don't know.
24:16
Speaker 5: There's really no other sport like that.
24:17
Speaker 3: Sometimes college basketball is changing times, I think, But other
24:20
Speaker 3: than that, a lot of times.
24:22
Speaker 6: The systems it's all about money. You look at it,
24:25
Speaker 6: at it, but it's just crazy. Now you've got what
24:27
Speaker 6: I who's all in this?
24:30
Speaker 4: NBC, Fox, NBC, Fox, and CBS.
24:34
Speaker 6: CBS right and there and streaming certain You say, now
24:37
Speaker 6: you've got games on un.
24:39
Speaker 2: On the car. I get it. Yeah, yes, pause, yeah.
24:42
Speaker 6: So that could be on Big Ten network, FS one,
24:44
Speaker 6: Fox Sports, NBC, CB whatever.
24:46
Speaker 2: It's all over the well.
24:47
Speaker 4: And as you just hit it, you have three different
24:49
Speaker 4: groups that are all trying to line up which one
24:51
Speaker 4: they want.
24:52
Speaker 2: And they have a draft, right, they get choices is
24:54
Speaker 2: it each week? Each week?
24:56
Speaker 4: And then I believe it rotates who has the first
24:59
Speaker 4: pick each time?
25:00
Speaker 3: Right?
25:00
Speaker 4: Like so I think if Big Noon Kickoff takes a
25:02
Speaker 4: Big ten game, then they have to bump back into
25:05
Speaker 4: the rotation. Then NBC would get first DIBs for their
25:08
Speaker 4: night game coming up at the end. But it's so
25:11
Speaker 4: in and out that I don't necessarily know how Kevin Warren.
25:13
Speaker 2: We've this very tangled of contracts and the.
25:17
Speaker 6: Big billions and billions of dollars is what it turned
25:20
Speaker 6: into for them.
25:21
Speaker 4: But then he very quickly got a new job and
25:22
Speaker 4: then got up out of there right as they were
25:25
Speaker 4: all Chriscett doing, which was very very well timed.
25:27
Speaker 6: And now if you can only figure stadium issues out, yeah.
25:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll tell you though that uh that hot Halloween
25:34
Speaker 4: night Badgers and Hawkeyes?
25:37
Speaker 2: There we go? Is it Halloween night? Do we know that?
25:39
Speaker 2: Not Halloween night? Pardon me? It'll be no later than
25:41
Speaker 2: four pm kickoff? Is that right?
25:43
Speaker 4: That'll be a no later than four p kickoffs? So
25:45
Speaker 4: it could be in some some time frame in there.
25:48
Speaker 4: But the folks in Kinnick are gonna be live on
25:51
Speaker 4: that that Saturday.
25:52
Speaker 2: That's gonna be a fun one. Yeah.
25:53
Speaker 6: It's good that it's before four in that sense, right,
25:56
Speaker 6: so the students won't be make sense ten am until I'm.
25:59
Speaker 1: Just thinking of State Street and Water Street and Saturday
26:03
Speaker 1: night Halloween you've had?
26:05
Speaker 3: That?
26:06
Speaker 2: Is it used? Is it what it used to be?
26:08
Speaker 3: Though? I know our man is the listening audience can
26:10
Speaker 3: tell us about State Street, like.
26:14
Speaker 4: I also don't know that a lot of our Madison
26:15
Speaker 4: listening audience is going out on State Street.
26:17
Speaker 2: Armen. Well, but like I got bad, I don't.
26:19
Speaker 4: I don't know that a lot of the folks that
26:21
Speaker 4: are listening to us at six thirty three are the
26:22
Speaker 4: ones that are going out partying on State Street.
26:24
Speaker 3: Well, not now, but in their heyday? Are you kidding me?
26:27
Speaker 3: In their heyday?
26:28
Speaker 4: Right, they can tell you about what it used to
26:30
Speaker 4: look like. I don't know what they're telling you that
26:31
Speaker 4: it looks like right now, and they know how it's
26:33
Speaker 4: changed with their kids.
26:34
Speaker 2: I don't know.
26:35
Speaker 3: I'm just saying I remember the freak fast used to
26:37
Speaker 3: be like the wildest thing ever. They used to talk
26:39
Speaker 3: about going to State Street, Madison and Halloween like it
26:41
Speaker 3: was like the craziest, scariest place ever.
26:43
Speaker 2: I can't imagine. Now it's like the same time. I
26:46
Speaker 2: don't know, I don't know the time. I mean, you
26:48
Speaker 2: can still hang with that crowd. Oh are you kidding me?
26:51
Speaker 2: I could run it with them. Oh?
26:52
Speaker 3: Absolutely, yeah, I can fit right in with them.
26:55
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure, for sure.
26:56
Speaker 3: I'd get out of there probably by nine o'clock, be like,
26:59
Speaker 3: all right, it's time for me to go home, guys.
27:00
Speaker 2: Before the bouncy, right people, I better get out of here.
27:06
Speaker 7: Yeah before the Yeah, but yeah, that's wid While the
27:11
Speaker 7: season ticket base important to the revenue for the coffers
27:15
Speaker 7: to keep the engine running.
27:16
Speaker 2: To me, the bigger thing.
27:17
Speaker 1: Is like the no shows, because people who turned down
27:21
Speaker 1: season tickets, you would think you play well, or if
27:23
Speaker 1: it's a big game, they'll they'll come back back fold
27:27
Speaker 1: and they'll buy a single game seat. But when the
27:30
Speaker 1: Badgers problem has been like the less when you have
27:33
Speaker 1: a bunch of then yeah, that's a problem. I mean
27:36
Speaker 1: when that's your biggest revenue maker. Remember when the biggest
27:38
Speaker 1: issue used to be the students not being in their seats,
27:40
Speaker 1: and that was a bad look on TV when there
27:43
Speaker 1: was an extra pointer or field goal, it was nothing
27:44
Speaker 1: but empty bleachers, you know.
27:46
Speaker 2: And that's the least of the problems.
27:47
Speaker 1: Now that's a well, yeah, that's kind of a self
27:49
Speaker 1: inflicted own goal, right because of the process that they make.
27:53
Speaker 1: It takes a long time to get them in bad process.
27:56
Speaker 3: That's a topic of discussion every year for Badger fans,
28:01
Speaker 3: and it's going to be another one that's always a.
28:03
Speaker 2: Topic of discussion.
28:04
Speaker 1: And at Arman's Institution of Choice, those kids are lined
28:07
Speaker 1: up outside waiting to sprint in. We called it the
28:09
Speaker 1: running of the students.
28:11
Speaker 3: His general a mission and so I was in in
28:12
Speaker 3: those races definitely, and it was kind of a funny thing.
28:15
Speaker 1: I've been doing shows in the A triom I remember
28:17
Speaker 1: at the old Bradley Center especially. You do shows in
28:18
Speaker 1: the A triom and then would open the gates and
28:20
Speaker 1: they would go sprinting by, and those kind of polished
28:22
Speaker 1: marble floors are little slippery kids.
28:24
Speaker 2: It was like.
28:26
Speaker 1: We saw some kids go down. They're spinning their wheels
28:29
Speaker 1: like the cartoons.
28:30
Speaker 2: It was crazy. It was it was on the water.
28:32
Speaker 2: They would put a time lapse on it.
28:33
Speaker 3: The thing about it really quick was well, I don't
28:36
Speaker 3: think they'll do They're doing that last year.
28:37
Speaker 2: That's the problem.
28:38
Speaker 3: You gotta keep winning to keep the interest, and last
28:40
Speaker 3: year was kind of a struggle.
28:41
Speaker 6: So you guys may have talked about this. Speaking of Marquette,
28:44
Speaker 6: have you gotten your alley beers yesterday?
28:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, Billy, here's our current electric superhero of the day. Dude.
28:49
Speaker 6: It's like now the top five Neil jerseys are all
28:53
Speaker 6: football or men's basketball.
28:55
Speaker 4: Mm hm.
28:56
Speaker 6: But she's number seventh, seven, seventh out of out of
28:59
Speaker 6: you know, and just cloking and hopefully closing in. Her
29:03
Speaker 6: brother plays football at MINNESOTAESTA and then there's a tight
29:07
Speaker 6: end at Oklahoma Rocky Beers.
29:09
Speaker 2: But what makes her so special is that it's a
29:11
Speaker 2: six pack.
29:12
Speaker 4: I was going to say, it's the six pack that
29:14
Speaker 4: just makes it so much better. And if she starts hitting,
29:17
Speaker 4: like so she's an outside hitter, is that what is
29:19
Speaker 4: that we talked about. She starts getting some some kills,
29:23
Speaker 4: Holy cow, six Beers are going to be deleted in
29:25
Speaker 4: that student section very quick.
29:27
Speaker 6: And volleyball is big time, not only in the statement
29:31
Speaker 6: across the country.
29:31
Speaker 2: The fact that she's from Slingers were talking.
29:33
Speaker 6: About Wisconsin girl, one of the few Wisconsin girls on
29:36
Speaker 6: the roster.
29:37
Speaker 4: That was why that was why I sent it on
29:39
Speaker 4: it off, like when I realized that it was somebody
29:42
Speaker 4: in the state of Wisconsin. We're pumping that nil check
29:44
Speaker 4: in yes and trying to trying to enjoy. Also because
29:47
Speaker 4: I realized when I went to a Marka game last year,
29:49
Speaker 4: I only had like one or two Marqutchers. Now I
29:51
Speaker 4: have six beers one and as my kids age, I
29:54
Speaker 4: can explain why that's so funny. Every single that's.

30:10
Speaker 3: I was gonna say though about this, man, Now I'm blanked.
30:13
Speaker 2: Oh this is all you were thinking about is prices.
30:16
Speaker 3: I know I wanted to do that. Okay, move on, guys,

Speaker 3: move on. So I wanted to get this in before
30:21
Speaker 3: we lost our chance. Yes, yours national radio date. I
30:24
Speaker 3: want to honor Dolf with that congratulations. Maybe because I
30:27
Speaker 3: know we're all in radio. I feel like you are
30:29
Speaker 3: national radio. Oh so what since ninety four? Right, you've
30:33
Speaker 3: been on that?
30:34
Speaker 2: I have, and that's it.
30:35
Speaker 6: I've been.
30:36
Speaker 2: I've been in Milwaukee since ninety four. So yeah, how
30:38
Speaker 2: many total years in radio? Forty forty one? Whoa? I
30:45
Speaker 2: started in nineteen eighty five, full time. Yeah.
30:47
Speaker 6: I was pulling down fourteen large doing overnights in quad cities,
30:51
Speaker 6: Rock Island.
30:52
Speaker 4: Love it, Rock Island. Yeah, Stairway at Heaven whenever you
30:55
Speaker 4: needed a little break.
30:56
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Well. The bad thing about.
30:59
Speaker 6: The eighties this music was incredibly shorter overall, so you
31:02
Speaker 6: didn't get a lot of bathroom breaks. And we were
31:04
Speaker 6: part of an AMFM television station. It was downtown building,
31:07
Speaker 6: so I had to go up a floor and towards
31:09
Speaker 6: the back of the building just to use the restroom.
31:11
Speaker 2: Oh, poor design of that building. Yeah, that's not positive.
31:14
Speaker 2: So you had to put on a long song.
31:15
Speaker 6: I was actually at a country station, and so I
31:18
Speaker 6: put on some old long four or five minute song
31:21
Speaker 6: and then raced.
31:21
Speaker 2: For the bathroom.
31:22
Speaker 4: I immediately throw in the next two tapes. Yeah, exactly,
31:26
Speaker 4: carts cars.
31:27
Speaker 1: I've only been in this part of the industry half
31:30
Speaker 1: as long as Dolf, like twenty years for me, and
31:33
Speaker 1: I gotta say, like national radio, I still feel like
31:35
Speaker 1: an outsider. Like I'm still like, it's not my day.
31:38
Speaker 1: It's for guys lifers like Dolf. Yeah, it's plus. Even
31:44
Speaker 1: when I was working at the newspaper, it's like national,
31:46
Speaker 1: like reporter day. I don't know that I would celebrate
31:50
Speaker 1: a little cheesy.
31:51
Speaker 4: You didn't have you didn't you guys didn't have a
31:52
Speaker 4: collage for National newspaper Day.
31:54
Speaker 2: Oh we getting quotes.
31:56
Speaker 5: We definitely didn't have a cake or anything.
31:58
Speaker 3: Yeah.
31:59
Speaker 6: Yeah, I didn't even know it was a thing until
32:01
Speaker 6: a couple of years ago, but I got it. Just
32:03
Speaker 6: sent me down the hall and I started looking the
32:05
Speaker 6: first radio station in Milwaukee was nineteen twenty two, and
32:10
Speaker 6: then a couple of years later WTMJ came along. But
32:13
Speaker 6: twenty two, I don't don't the station is long gone.
32:15
Speaker 6: Whatever it was, I forget the call layers.
32:18
Speaker 2: I don't know if Doug work.
32:19
Speaker 5: See. The thing is, I don't know if Doug work
32:21
Speaker 5: for that one.
32:22
Speaker 2: No. The joke is because the.
32:24
Speaker 3: Only reason I remember this day is because Doug posts
32:27
Speaker 3: all the stations he worked for.
32:28
Speaker 2: So that's how I remember it every year. Doug Russell, Yeah,
32:31
Speaker 2: that's true.
32:31
Speaker 1: I see other stations and on social media, other personalities.
32:36
Speaker 2: To say, personalities, things in there. I did get a Facebook.
32:39
Speaker 1: The best thing about probably the only good thing about Facebook,
32:42
Speaker 1: is that it's an archive of your photos and stuff.
32:44
Speaker 1: Good memory kids throwing up like this first day of
32:47
Speaker 1: school stuff you're gonna flash back and see it, or
32:49
Speaker 1: birthdays and stuff.
32:50
Speaker 6: Sadly, most of the radio stations I've worked for are gone.
32:54
Speaker 6: They're gone. The frequencies are still there.
32:56
Speaker 2: But yeah, because you killed them.
32:57
Speaker 6: He dominated here for so long, I think, and then
33:00
Speaker 6: things went downhill.
33:01
Speaker 1: That's yes.
33:03
Speaker 6: My first station is the Spanish station now and then, uh,
33:06
Speaker 6: I love it. One of my stations that was top
33:09
Speaker 6: forty is I don't even know they all, but they're all.
33:13
Speaker 6: Don't The one I worked at in Madison, which was
33:16
Speaker 6: country at the time, is.
33:17
Speaker 2: Now I think like eighties something like that.
33:19
Speaker 3: You know what formats change, I mean, that's the nature
33:21
Speaker 3: of radio. Time moves on, time change, right, we know that.
33:24
Speaker 6: So which that's a lot about this town because a
33:26
Speaker 6: lot of the formats have not changed for decades.
33:28
Speaker 4: I'm still kind of surprised that they didn't want Scott
33:30
Speaker 4: Dolphin doing the Spanish radios.
33:32
Speaker 2: I love it.
33:32
Speaker 6: I don't I don't know. I don't get how that
33:34
Speaker 6: interview didn't play out very well. They did a nice
33:37
Speaker 6: thing for us at that station. They announced to the
33:39
Speaker 6: staff that they were changing to Spanish format, but they
33:43
Speaker 6: gave us like ninety days to get the hell out
33:45
Speaker 6: of town.
33:45
Speaker 4: Oh nice, wow, Okay, I love that's a lot nicer.
33:49
Speaker 2: I love the Quad Cities.
33:50
Speaker 6: I'd probably still be there if they didn't boot me out,
33:53
Speaker 6: because there was the first place I started.
33:55
Speaker 2: I enjoyed it. It was a nice sized town.
33:57
Speaker 6: It was four cities. Can you name the Quad Cities? Oh, yes, Dubuke,
34:01
Speaker 6: No Close, Rock Island, Rock Island, and the two on
34:05
Speaker 6: the Iowa side.
34:06
Speaker 2: I thought the Buke was one of them. Door and the.
34:09
Speaker 6: Team that beat Whitefish Bay in the Little League Davenport.
34:14
Speaker 2: That's the biggest there was.
34:16
Speaker 4: I knew there was a d one, but I knew
34:17
Speaker 4: it wasn't Dubuke, and I was trying to put the name.
34:19
Speaker 2: I was trying to put it.
34:20
Speaker 6: Dubuke's about an hour upstream on the Mississippi, not too
34:22
Speaker 6: far away.
34:23
Speaker 2: How far Cedar Rapids from that? Cedar Rapids not far?
34:26
Speaker 6: Also, so the town I grew up in, Cascade was
34:29
Speaker 6: twenty minutes to Dubuke, in forty five minutes.
34:30
Speaker 2: To Cedar Rapids.
34:31
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, so Cedar Rapids Iowa City is the same
34:34
Speaker 6: metro area.
34:35

36:37
Speaker 4: current Electric Superhero the day because he was a superhero
36:40
Speaker 4: for the team he doesn't play for. Yesterday, a very
36:43
Speaker 4: very tough moment for the Cincinnati Reds happened when centerfielder
36:48
Speaker 4: Dane Myers, formerly of centerfield Fame, crashing into the outfield
36:53
Speaker 4: wall at American Family Field and what looked like breaking
36:56
Speaker 4: his collar bone out playing for the Reds yesterday against
37:00
Speaker 4: the Saint Louis Cardinals in a five to four to
37:03
Speaker 4: ninth inning ball flies straight away center field. Looks like
37:06
Speaker 4: the Reds are going to close in on a victory
37:07

37:11
Speaker 2: Meers drove the ball.
37:13
Speaker 5: Oh tough, you haven't the victory in your hands.
37:17
Speaker 4: With the left fielder jje right next to him watching
37:22
Speaker 4: the ball bounce right off and clank off the glove,
37:27
Speaker 4: try to catch you with one hand, kids, two hands
37:30
Speaker 4: always better. Bounces off two runs score the Cardinals take
37:34
Speaker 4: a six' five. Lead well you think their story ends, There,
37:38
Speaker 4: no because Then Alec burlison singled in a couple uh
37:42
Speaker 4: baiez walk to score another. Run Then forman came up
37:46
Speaker 4: ripped another, single scoring two, more and it ended a
37:50
Speaker 4: ten to Five cardinals. Lead but it was not over,
37:53
Speaker 4: yet as The reds continue to fight back in. Claw
37:56
Speaker 4: they had the bases loaded with two outs and the
37:59
Speaker 4: tie the. Lead he'd run the winning run at first
38:02
